Feature Class to Shapefile Error: "Failed to convert, can only join an iterable"

AnthonyPodesto

I have never had this issue before, any ideas as to why?

Thanks

On the surface, the error seems to be related to the join method of a Python string.

You appear to be using the Feature Class to Shapefile tool with multiple layers or feature classes. Check to see if there is something off with one of the inputs to the tool.

I ended up using the feature class to feature class tool. From there I tried the shapefile tool again and it worked. I do not know what happened with the original feature class but it doesn’t matter at this point. It worked. Thanks for the reply Joshua.

I had this issue and I found out why/how to fix it and it looks like you made the same mistake I did.

Don't use weird text characters such as "/" or "-". Your input has both. Remove or replace those and it will fix your issue.

This worked for me! Thanks.

I had the same issue when exporting ArcGIS Online Features using the Feature Class to Geodatabase tool and this fixed it. "Don't use weird text characters such as "/" or "-". Your input has both. Remove or replace those and it will fix your issue"

I had the same issue with the Raster to Geodatabase tool and this was the solution. My particular problem was, the rasters I was trying to import I had them grouped in the Contents Pane, so the route included come "/" characters.

Thanks a lot.

Oh, thank you! This comment saved me with the Raster to Other Format tool. I had my tif files in a group layer and that failed. Ungrouping did the trick.

hurry01_TuftsGIS, this worked for me too! 🙂

I fixed all folder-names which the raster layer was grouped in, to no longer include "/", "-" and other special signs "æøå" etc. but it still didn't work.

But when I moved the raster layer up to the top of the catalogue it suddenly worked as intended, I don't understand why, but it worked now 🙂
